If you can get a table outside it’s a great place to eat and people-watch. Food is good and often has dishes you’ll not have considered (e.g. gull’s eggs) but they do tend to over-salt food.

A good restaurant, but not worth the cost unless you just like the feel of living large.

It’s only a few years old, so is very clean, very modern. Caters to large groups with lots of big tables in a single big room. Looks out onto the renovated Paternoster Square, adjacent to St Paul’s Cathedral. It all makes for a fancy, busy, high-profile location.

The menu has, as the other review says, lots of meat. If you want game, lamb hotpots, Cornish bass, rosemary roast potatoes, parsnip soup, cabbage & apple salad…well, you get the idea: big, warming, roasted country foods. It might be the kind of place to take your dad on his birthday (just don’t let him see the bill).

They have a separate Sunday roast menu that changes seasonally (see the web page) which I think gets a little closer to value for money: from £16 for two courses, or from £20 for three, and there’s a lot of choice. Still not cheap as chips, but the quality and choice is top-notch (for carnivores).

With a name like "Chop House" and phrases such as "freshly butchered" and "beast of the day" it comes as no surprise that this is a restaurant definitely for meat lovers. Nestling in the shadow of St Paul's Cathedral, on the newly renovated Paternoster Square, the restuarant is a single, large dining space with a small number of tables outside. The decor is functional & modern. The food is OK - I had a Roast Pork dish and my companion Braised Duck. But a main course with side order and water only, come out at about £30 a head. So quite pricey for what most would consider a reasonably standard roast meal.
